April Fool’s Trick

According to the weather recording data this April has been one of the warmest in decades! Good for us! We have been outdoors most of the time. It is easier to go downtown and have an awesome espresso with friends or meet them at a beergarden. With temperatures around 20 °C it also very nice to ride our bikes (or my motobike Winking smile)

But not only downtown Munich has been the destination of our trips, also the near by mountains. We are lucky to have the Alps just a 50 minutes drive away.
You may have heard about Garmisch-Partenkirchen, there are tons of excellent hiking possibilities there. Many of them are also very good suitable for smaller kids. We went to the ruins of the castle Werdenfels (built 1249 A.D.). A beautiful day!

We had our first real vacation since we came back to Europe. Austria is not far away from where we live, and there by the Achensee, the largest lake in Tyrol to be more precise, there is a Kinderhotel we went to. This hotel is focused on kids! Everything is tailored for minors and it is very reassuring that there is no couple without children in the whole hotel. Initially we thought that this holiday would be a “sacrifice” we bring for our kids since we did not expect to chill a minute. But it was surprisingly relaxing! The kids had so much activities to choose from that we were not important anymore. We had such a good time, and all of that only 80KM away fro home! We may do that again in summer or fall.

Everybody knows it. April 1st is April Fool’s day. It was my day. Not yet noon and I had been fooled 3 times. And the worst was that it took me long to realize what was going on!

Well, at least I was a good laugh for my environment. Smile

Take care and until next month.
